And if you want i can give you the materials for good price, directly from the trees in iran without greedy middle men like Madinter.
We have Cypress, Palisanto, Cedar, Spruce, Ebony, Limewood (my favourite), etc. And we don't have stupid strict rules like in Brazil and we don't give a damn about nature too.
Indeed, do I hear that autocrat looters have since years now engaged with cutting down the remains of littered forests. After sky-high rocketing of prices for wood the temptation of cashing in must have been overwhelming. It made them even taking out of the only big trees in the capitol.
And because of those extreme profits I doubt that they would hand over some at a price still worth for you to ship to abroad.

We are used to kill animals and other living creatures with our own hands, no problem for me (ask Ruphus).
Many torturers are too coward to dare touching their victims and handle them wire tethered and thelike.
The remaining kind of temperaments are the indifferent and the animal lovers. The indifferent do not appreciate the pleasure of tormenting and may even detest it, but they vastly won´t confront torturers either.
Whereas the animal lovers broadly mistreat their charge, for not going out of their way in the first place to inform themselves on the needs and natural requirements of the animal. Their opinion on keeping will consist of traditionally passed cluelessness, personaly made up truisms and of comforting themselves.
And when you consider how much time and efforts it took to somewhat spread information about animal cognition and mentality in the west ( where still the majority has little clue on the differences of thinking between men and other species ), you may estimate what common sense in Asia may realize about animal´s perception and cognition.
Animals there will be considered mere thing and in the same time treated under assumption of human thinking routines.
Hence, the diametral opposite of educated mind which acknowledges the creatures value and right, whilst increasingly realizing basically different ways of cognitive and habitual processings.

Just yesterday I had a hard time making someone understand why "walking" your dog by keeping him on a leash through your cars window was so typical for the Asian way of "pet love".
When the dog be run over, you just get yourself another one.
It was near impossible to convey to the guy why animal and little children are unpredictable, and that you cannot just rely on your wishful thinking that the dog may not accidentally run into your car while on the leash of the driver.
He kept on saying: "Why should the dog throw himself under the car and be run over".
Too little trained with providing any other thinking strategy than his own.
Filing the animal world of no more relevance than disposable goods, and yet in the same time counting it as of human thinking routine, albeit on only foolish level, naturally.
Arash, my friend,
Instead of feeling teased about more than obvious reality, how about investing that energy constructively?
I have prepared a little primer on pet keeping. It only needs to be finished and taken a correction reading.
I want it to be copied and laid out at veterinaries´.
It is written in German language and would need translation into Farsi ( and other language, if anyone here is willing to support this little action in his Asian / African country as well ).
Are you prepared to translate it into Farsi?
- with your own hands? ;O)
